Think of your ears like a busy city. Noise exposure and aging can cause a decrease in connections between different parts of the city, specifically the auditory nerve fibers and inner hair cells. This connection loss, known as cochlear synaptopathy (CS), may affect how we understand speech. Animal studies have shown that noise exposure leads […]
Just like how shining a light can reveal hidden corners, scientists have discovered that light can also be used as a therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease. In the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, two proteins called tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) clump together, causing damage. Researchers have developed special photocatalysts that, when exposed to light, attach oxygen […]
